Comment: While I have not gotten pregnant, tri-sprintec has completely screwed up my menstrual cycle. When I began it in February, my periods had been regular on a 28-30 day basis and lasted about 5 days. I knew that with starting a hormone pill, it may mess with my cycle and that it was necessary to give it time (at least some months) to regulate.

Comment:While I have not gotten pregnant, tri-sprintec has completely screwed up my menstrual cycle. When I began it in February, my periods had been regular on a 28-30 day basis and lasted about 5 days. I knew that with starting a hormone pill, it may mess with my cycle and that it was necessary to give it time (at least some months) to regulate. Since the first month, I get my period halfway through the 3rd week (last week of active pills) and it does not stop until the end of the placebos, if not longer than that in some occasions. The only exception has been this month, in which I actually got my period on the first day of the 3rd week of pills. I have remained on it pending consulting my doctor, and while I'm very happy and satisfied that I have not become pregnant, I will be looking into other options because who wants to have their period for a week and a half every month?! Not this girl. Hide Full Comment

Comment:I had been on Tri-Sprintec since I was 16 (23 now). I went on it for reason to clear up my acne, which worked. My breasts filled out and I can't say I e perie ce any severe weight gain, maybe 5lbs. I did constantly feel bloated and had absolutely ZERO sex drive. I had only been sexually active while on BC so Ice never known what it feels like to have a sex drive. It was starting to affect me emotionally so I went off it two months ago. My sex drive is regulating again and the gloating has stopped. I lost my boobs (sad face) and my acne has come back. I guess you gotta give up some things for the others! Overall, I trust this BC I would be afraid to try anything else. Hide Full Comment

Comment: I am on my third week of my first pack. I was extremely scared to try BC but after my six months of horror with the Depo shot... it's so amazing! I came to college at 130lb and was 167lb after five months on the Depo and spotted EVERY single day. With this pill, the bleeding stopped within 3 days of use, and I have been so much happier.

I've actually lost weight and experienced my appetite decreasing. I have had zero mood swings, and I feel really happy. I really recommend this. Hide Full Comment
